Swing State Tracking: Romney 49%, Obama 48%
Friday, October 12, 2012
The full Swing State tracking update offers Rasmussen Reader subscribers a combined view of the results from 11 key states won by President Obama in 2008 and thought to be competitive in 2012. The states collectively hold 146 Electoral College votes and include Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. If you do not already have a Rasmussen Reader account,
In the 11 swing states, Mitt Romney earns 49% support to Obama's 48%. Three percent (3%) are undecided.
This is the fourth day in a row Romney has led the daily Swing State Survey, continuing to reflect the modest bounce he earned from last week's first presidential debate. Prior to that, the president had led for 17 of the previous 19 days, and the candidates had been tied twice. Virtually all of these findings are based on responses prior to last night's vice presidential debate.
In 2008, Obama won these states by a combined margin of 53% to 46%, virtually identical to his national margin.
In the swing states, Romney now leads 54% to 43% among male voters but trails by a 51% to 45% margin among female voters.
Nationally, Romney now leads by one point in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.
